Scott Cousins latches on with Rangers

by R.J. White | CBSSports.com

Outfielder Scott Cousins will report to Triple-A Round Rock after latching on with the Rangers, MLBDailyDish.com reports.

Cousins had planned to pitch in the independent Atlantic League after failing to make the Red Sox in spring training. Instead, he'll serve as outfield depth for the Rangers. He hit .233/.310/.306 in 193 at-bats with Triple-A Salt Lake last season.

Four Angels left off the club's final 40-man roster have elected free agency, MLB.com reports. Outfielder Scott Cousins and pitchers Billy Buckner, Daniel Stange and Elvin Ramirez will all test the free agent market for their next job this offseason.

Cousins was designated for assignment Saturday, and will be assigned to Triple-A Salt Lake. He played in seven games with the Angels, but only received four at-bats. Cousins is hitting .241/.298/.287 in 95 at-bats.
